Knock On the Door

a knock on the door do not answer that I yell they will get me next. my husband’s macho. But since it is two a.m. he listens to me. We need your phone Two strangers yell through the door. We called the police. Before the officer arrives the strangers call up their girlfriends Sit on our lawn furniture, make themselves comfortable. We figure out they are inebriated And thought they were on a country road When it was just the lane to our driveway. The officer who arrives looks eighteen. I send my husband out to make sure he is safe. Something still feels weird.

They had run their car into the fence next door; it was caught in the ditch.

True. He started to rip open that door and I yelled "Don't!"

Wow. I'd say you handled it well. I'd be petrified.
